In the video, the two elite mercenary groups on the opposite side of the camp had a total of eighty people. They were like a tidal wave as they charged towards the side of the Ogre Encampment. When they reached the wooden fence of the camp, a portion of the mercenaries directly ran up the fence, ran to the top of the fence, flipped over it, and ran down the ten-meter-tall fence as if they were running on flat ground.
A portion of the mercenaries jumped like frogs a dozen meters away from the fence, jumped over the fence, and landed in the camp.
The camp was empty except for an Ogre standing near the entrance of the camp with a heavy hammer in one hand and a huge staff in the other. This Ogre wasn't wearing any armor. Instead, he was wearing a luxurious robe. His face and arms were covered with complicated and mysterious patterns. They seemed to be tattoos, but they also seemed to be natural patterns.
The mercenaries who had entered the camp naturally charged towards the only enemy they had.
The younger mercenaries didn't care and charged forward. In their eyes, it was only an ogre that wasn't wearing any armor. Even if he looked stronger than an ordinary ogre, he was still a piece of meat on the chopping board.
However, some of the more knowledgeable veteran mercenaries stopped at the sight of the ogre. They recognized that the mysterious patterns on the ogre's body weren't tattoos, but magical tattoos!
Magical tattoos were a method of permanent magic. Only high-grade mages could create them.
The higher-ups of the mercenaries had long known that there might be an ogre Magus in this camp.
Even though high-grade mages had limited spell slots, casting spells required time, and would eventually die. However, when a high-grade mage was prepared and his spell slots were full, the first to charge forward would definitely die a horrible death.
Thus, the higher-ups of the mercenaries didn't stop their subordinates. They only slowed down their steps.
In the blink of an eye, the fastest mercenary was only a dozen meters away from the ogre.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The ogre turned around to look at the mercenaries and suddenly let out a muffled roar. Following this roar, the roofs of the huts on both sides of the camp suddenly flipped open. Countless ogres scuttled out from under the huts.
This scene shocked Feng Chou. He had carefully observed this camp before. Although the huts around the camp were large, they were very low. There was no way they could accommodate tall ogres. Feng Chou had always thought that these huts were warehouses of the Ogre Encampment, or living quarters for gnolls or human slaves.
Feng Chou understood what was going on when the door of the hut was lifted. The ground beneath the hut had been dug deep, and the ground below the hut was almost two meters lower than the ground outside. It was perfect for the Ogres to hide!
This group of ogres were different from the ones still fighting at the entrance. They wore thick black steel armor, and some of them even had the radiance of divine spells.
Not only were these ogres more well-equipped, but there were also more of them than the ones outside the camp.
The young mercenaries who broke into the camp saw this scene and shouted in panic. Some of the experienced old mercenaries did not hesitate to jump onto the wall.
Seeing someone using Leap to escape, some of the ogres threw their battle-axes at the mercenaries in the air.
The mercenaries couldn't change their direction in the air and were like targets. They screamed as they fell down like birds hit by slingshots.
Only a few experts among the mercenaries managed to block the flying battle-axes and used the force of the axes to jump higher and faster.
But then, eight spells fell on these people's heads. The one who jumped the highest, a guy wearing a red cloak, was hit by a green radiance and turned into dust.
Disintegrate, a 6th Tier Spell!
Apart from Disintegrate, Feng Chou also saw four golden flames falling from the sky. That was "Holy Flame Strike", a classic priest offensive spell that could deal both fire and holy damage. It was also a 6th Tier Spell!
How many advanced spellcasters were there?
At this time, Feng Chou didn't care about anything else. He immediately activated Invisibility and took out a Flight Scroll. He rose into the air and quickly flew away.
The others' reactions were not any slower than Feng Chou's. The leader of the Fierce Tiger of the Forest turned around and grabbed his daughter. He flipped his hand and took out a scroll. With a flash of light, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
The other old mercenaries didn't slow down either. They used all sorts of strange moves. Some "Big Stride", some "Haste", some "Flight", and some "Invisibility" …
The three groups of mercenaries scattered like birds and beasts.
Although Feng Chou had decisively left the battlefield, the images of the battle were constantly being broadcasted to him through Qiankun Pagoda …
The regular army in front of the camp was not affected by the mercenaries' collapse, but their formation began to shrink. The City Guard at the front retreated to the flanks of the knight regiment. The knight regiment that had pierced through the enemy with Arrow Formation also retreated.
This was the difference between a regular army and a small mercenary group. No matter how elite a mercenary group was, in the face of a real war, they were just a mob.
The mages in the human camp quickly reacted to the unexpected appearance of spellcasters in the enemy camp. They took out various scrolls and began to cast some powerful defensive spells on themselves.
A middle-aged mage took out a scroll of Arcane Eye, intending to see what was happening in the camp.
But soon, the mage put the scroll back into his pouch because the enemies in the camp had rushed out.
More than two hundred heavily armored ogres charged out of the camp and stopped behind the ogres who had been routed and were now reorganizing themselves in a chaotic manner.
The gnolls were almost nowhere to be seen on the battlefield now.
When the new army stood next to the ogres from before, there was a clear contrast. Not only were the new ogres wearing better Black Steel Armor, but they were also more muscular than the previous ogres.
These ogres were also more disciplined. They formed a loose formation and silently waited for orders, unlike the ogres at the front who were pushing and shoving each other, occasionally letting out bestial howls.
Four ogres in black and red robes followed behind this group of ogres. Their robes were very similar to the robes worn by two of the humans who had visited the Ogre Encampment that night.
After the four robed Ogres stopped, they immediately cast some group buffs on the Ogres in front of them, such as "Group Brute Strength" and "Group Agility". They were actually four high level Ogre Priests.
Behind the four ogre priests were five ogres in large adept robes. Mysterious magical tattoos covered the exposed skin on their faces and hands.
